I stopped drinking and realised new york still has a lot of charm, but it has become so bourgeois and affluent - and i can't really complain because i'm sort of bourgeois and affluent myself, but i like living in a place where artists and musicians and writers can actually pay the rent.

New York
About 60% of the people stopped when we had 24 jams on display and then at the times when we had 6 different flavors of jam out on display only 40% of the people actually stopped, so more people were clearly attracted to the larger varieties of options, but then when it came down to buying, so the second thing we looked at is in what case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. what we found was that of the people who stopped when there were 24 different flavors of jam out on display only 3% of them actually bought a jar of jam whereas of the people who stopped when there were 6 different flavors of jam 30% of them actually bought a jar of jam.

When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.

New york was always more expensive than any other place in the united states, but you could live in new york - and by new york, i mean manhattan. brooklyn was the borough of grandparents. we didn't live well. we lived in these horrible places. but you could live in new york. and you didn't have to think about money every second.
New York Mean Thinking
Vulnerability of artists is definitely what makes organizations like pen necessary because, as i tried to argue, the actual work that writers and artists do has an ornery way of surviving. particularly in this age of the internet, it is very easy for forbidden work to be found online somewhere if you know where to look. artists themselves, however, are in increasing danger, and not just artists. the great concern is that year after year, rising numbers of journalists are being killed in pursuit of their work.
Artist Age Arguing
There are people who are like monkeys in a cage just hitting the coke button. they don't really get that for [musicians and artists] to do these things, they have to fund them. they have to have something to pay the rent.

Similar Quotes
My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the experience of my sensibility. inspired by certain pages of delacroix, an artist like signac is preoccupied with complementary colors, and the theoretical knowledge of them will lead him to use a certain tone in a certain place. but i simply try to put down colors which render my sensation.
Artist Color Choices
I can tell when i've met a bad journalist when they say, "i've met madonna," or "i know marilyn manson." because i haven't met anyone i've ever interviewed. i've sat down in the position of an interviewer, and they've sat down in the position of an artist trying to promote a product. we have no relationship. i'm able to ask them questions i'd never be allowed to ask them if we were casual friends. it's a completely constructed kind of situation.
Artist Trying Able
I toured for 13 years, and it was very lonely, and it was hard work. i'm not afraid of hard work, especially if it's for stuff that i enjoy. but i actually don't think you could name one artist who enjoys promo or touring after the first three to six months of an album cycle.
Lonely Hard Work Artist
When i paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
